IMPROVEMENT IN SODA-WATER AND SIRUP COCKS.

Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 158,483, dated Jaruary 5, 1h75; application tiled Dtcember 1, 1874.

To all whom yt may concer-n.'

Beit known that l, WILLIAM GEE, of New York, in the county and State ot' New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement inSoda-VVater and Sirup Cocks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the saine, reti erence being' rhad to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.

My present invention relates to an improvement on that for which Letters Patent No. 138,143 were granted to me under date ot' April 22, 1873; and it consists in a tube or nozzle of novel construction, arranged to operate in 4connection with the sirup -valves, whereby the discharge of soda-water through the elbow ot' the valve-stem is in the form vot' a steady, unbroken column, and the sirup and water are gently but thoroughly mixed before they enter the tumbler, and the liability ofthe sirup being suddenly ejected in advance of the water, Which sometimes occurred with the construction shown in my above-mentioned Letters Patent, is obviated.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a side View of the upper sirup-valve with the pipe or nozzle attached. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same.

The upper sirup-valve, K, is ot1 substantially the same construction as in my patent aforesaid, being formed with a stem, d, which has in it a passage, e, terminating in an elbow, f, near the bot-tom ofthe barrel ofthe cock, and the stem extending below the elbow, and bcing squared to receive the lower sirup-valve. The valve K thus constructed is arranged and A, operates in the same manner as described in my patent aforesaid. R is a tube, having lts upper portion somewhat smaller in diameter than the caliber of the elbow j', so that when it is inserted therein a chamber, t, is formed between the exterior of the tube and the interior of the elbow. The portion of the tube which is inserted in the elbow is provided with pert'orations r, and below these perforations is a iiange or shoulder, u, which ts closely against the lower end of the elbow, and is soldered or otherwise secured, so as to prevent leakage at that point.

When the valve K is turned, so as to close the orifice leading into the sirup-chamber and bring the discharge-port ot' the lower valve opposite the discharge-orifice at the lower end ot' the cock, the elbow f is also brought opposite said dischargeoritice, as described in my patent aforesaid. The soda-water passes under the main valve ot' the cock, into the passage e in the stem d, and enters the chamber t, from whence it passes into the tube lt through the perforations z'.

In my patent aforesaid the water strikes the end of the elbow, and the stream is broken up, and comes out in broken form, and strikes the edges of the outlet-oriliee, and is further broken, and the carbonio acid thus liberated passes up into the sirup-chamber and drives out the sirup suddenly, so that it is all deposited in the bottom of the tumbler at the commencement of the drawing.

By the improvement shown herein the discharge of water through the elbow is in the form of a steady, unbroken colnmn,concentric with the discharge oritce in the lower part ot' the cock, through which it produces a gentle draft of the sirup, which causes the water and sirup to be thoroughly mixed as they enter the tumbler.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is-

The perforated tube R, in combination with the chamber t in the elbow j', substantially as and for the purpose shown and described.

WILLIAM GEE.
